Greenwich,s Aged Men.

The town of Greenwich has a number hale and vigorous men beyond three score and 10 yeas of age. A noticeable char acteristic of all is that they do not show their ages by from 15 to 20 years. Farmer David Banks is 92, but does chores about the house every day. William Quintard, also 92, walks almost six miles every day. Mark Banks, cousin of David Bakds, is S7 years old, but he does not look 70. Colonel Thomas A. Mead comes from a long line of ancestors who have lived to a good old age. He is S7 years old. Through an injury to his eyes some years ago his sight is impaired, otherwise he is a mar vellously well-preserved man. He tells many interesting stories of the British General Tryon's invasion, as he learned them from General Mead of revolutionary times.

He is an Anderw Jackson Democrat, and tells with great pride of the visit of La fayette to the "Upper Landing"- He has been in the grocery business on the Upper Landing" for 50 years, and drives his loaded wagon to and from the freight depot

 HAcKErTsrowN, N. J., Dec 29.-A full investigation into the affairs of William B. Cramer, the. ex-mayor and carriage manu- facturer who abscorded from here last week, shows liabilities agkregating $20,- 900, with assets of about $l,500 For months prior to his departure Cramer had been turning everything available into cash. He purchased his raw material mostly through local dealers. giving his in- dividual notes pay at the bank, with several months to run, claiming that a proposed in- crease of business facilities required all his ready capital He then sold goods, ofttimes at heavy loss, for cash. His workmen were satified with orders on the town mer- chants, and thus kept nearly paid up. The merchants are nearly all bitten, among the heaviest being Rice G Dsverner, grocers, who honored over $l.O00 worth of orders the day he absconded. Their loss will amount to about $500.
 A number of old people who had saved small amounts from the labors of a lifetime trusted Cramer in making investments for them. They lose amounts aggregating from S100 to $200. The estate of William Pool, of which Cramer was sole executor, will be insolvent, he having taken all the assets Detectives are on the watch for him, but thus far have failed to discover his hiding place. He left town late on last Tuesday night, and was seen on the streets of Newark early on Wednesday morning. He then told friend he was on his way to New York to purchase goods.
